EvansMX Frost Tenor Head 14 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch frosted single-ply head for marching or concert tenor drums. For players replacing a worn head on a budget tenor.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a beat-up head on a school marching tenor
- Drum lines wanting a slightly warmer attack than clear film
- Keeping spare heads on hand for a season
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing a specific tuning range or thickness spec before committing
- Anyone with a drum that isn't 14 inches — heads don't stretch to fit
- Kit drummers looking for a snare or tom batter
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Frost finish
Frosted film scatters some high overtones, so attack reads a little softer and darker than a clear head.
Detail 03
Tenor head
Built for tenor drums specifically. Tension and feel are tuned for the higher pitches tenors sit at.
Detail 04
Single head, not a pack
You get one head. A full tenor set needs one per drum, so count your drums first.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — no hoop, tension rods, or drum key included
- 02Measure the shell diameter, not the outer rim, to confirm 14 in.
- 03Plan on retuning the whole drum after a head swap
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 14-inch tom?
It's built as a tenor head. The 14-inch diameter is the same, but the film is voiced for tenor tuning and attack, not kit tom response.
02Is this a batter head or a bottom head?
It's a tenor batter head — the one you strike. Marching tenors are typically single-headed, so this is the only head on the drum.
03How is frost different from clear?
The frosted coating on the film knocks down some of the highest overtones. Attack is a touch softer and the tone slightly warmer than a clear head.
04Do I need a drum key to install it?
Yes. You'll pull the tension rods to remove the old head and retension evenly on the new one. A key isn't included.
